A 10,000-circulation Virginia newspaper owned by Warren Buffett’s investment company will close at the end of the year as part of plan involving 105 job cuts in the 2,000-employee eastern U.S. newspaper operation.

My good friends on the copy/design desks basically had to work with a second-day story to turn out these jems, and not so jems on the Obama re-election. Again thanks to the good buds at these papers and at the Newseum for the screenshots.

Some comments on some of my favs:

Correio* – Salvador, Brazil — Nice portraite!

Capital Weekly – Sofia, Bulgaria — I knew that all of that confetti was going to mess with photos. Iwould have passed on this and used another.

From my good friends at the Newseum and from the various newspapers, here are some of this morning’s P-1’s of Obama’s re-election. As a former page designer I wish I had done some of these.

Some of my most favs:

The Clarion Ledger — Love the he’d and graphics. Simple yet dynamic!

Chicago Sun-Times — A for effort.. if only they had carried the lyrics a little further ” … I’m your man!”

Boston Herald — Way to get that Obama logo in the he’d! TWICE!

Las Vegas Sun — A full-page graphic that’s elegantly done.

The Plain Dealer — Lots of type, but kudos for getting a photo of the First Family up.

The Virginia-Pilot — Again, lots of type cramming up the page, but the large photo balances it out.

The New Leader — Stock photo!? Couldn’t wait for the wave at the victory speech?

Marshfield News-Herald — One of the best beds. Won Two. I get it. Well done.

Wyoming Tribune Eagle — They must of wandered across the state line into Colorado — if you know what I mean — to think they could get Obama photo along with all of the mugs of the local pols in. And they did!
